Artwork description:

Tranquil and atmospheric etching of this stunning stretch of English coastline.

This landscape print, of the view from Lyme Regis, depicts the Jurassic Coast stretching into the distance, evokes a feeling of peaceful spaciousness.

A 'Variable Edition' of a limited edition of just three prints from this etching plate.

To create this etching I have used a zinc plate, aquatint (melting resin dust onto the plate with a flame, to allow the ink to 'grip'), litho crayon, acid and burnishing. Then professional etching ink is smeared onto the plate and selectively removed. The image is created by placing the inked plate onto the bed of an etching press, with a damp sheet of 'Somerset' heavy weight, white paper, laid on top. The press is then 'hand wound', pressing the plate and paper together, transferring the image from plate to paper.

Image/plate size 28 x 22.5cm
Paper size 32 x 28cm
Print number 1/3

This etching is signed, dated, titled and numbered beneath the image (see additional photograph).
